Local authorities have 3 main influences LEAD ENABLE INSPIRE In our own operations a low carbon region with our Business and residents to programmes, policies and take climate action decisions themselves UNDERPINNED BY A STRONG STRATEGY

Council’s own emissions are only around 2% of total emissions, 1. but there is still much opportunity to take action and cut costs Leading in Travel Buildings Public Realm our own operations - Property strategies & standards - Avoidance – by VC / skype - Green memoranda with landlords LEAD ENABLE INSPIRE - Low energy streetlights - Promoting low carbon travel - Energy management & retrofit choices for staff - Manging lighting levels UNDERPINNED BY STRONG STRATEGY - Renewables & Energy - Fleet strategy procurement Buying decisions • As a major buyer, procurement can lock in low carbon performance. • Considering the energy used to produce products can also be a key way to support innovative low carbon approaches.

Buying low carbon is an important way to deliver low carbon regions What you buy How it’s made Whole life footprint Specifications Incentivising low carbon innovation Allowing effective differentiation between tenderers Following up on bidders’ commitments

Enabling a zero carbon, resilient region is probably councils’ 2. largest opportunity Enabling a low carbon, Mobility Waste • 100% ready for electric vehicles Low carbon development resilient • • Avoiding landfill Safe networks for active travel • Planning policies • • Promoting reuse and Clean public transport fleets district • Supporting low carbon recycling development • Building standards Clean energy Finance • Local energy strategies LEAD • ENABLE INSPIRE Supporting a low carbon 7 • Support for community transition UNDERPINNED BY STRONG STRATEGY energy • Renewable energy

Influencing all to 3. play their part Inspiring Brand business and • Use low carbon & resilience residents to as a regional differentiator lead Economic development • Local jobs to reduce commuting • New jobs in low carbon • Promoting flexible working LEAD ENABLE INSPIRE Education 8 • Promoting climate awareness UNDERPINNED BY STRONG STRATEGY • Supporting business transition • Promoting active travel Quality of life • Linking low carbon with clean air, health and happiness Influence & Leadership • Use Members’ influence to encourage others to take action

Case Study Life Cycle Assessment of H 2 buses Helping local authorities to achieve zero carbon public or fleet transport Life cycle assessment applied to the use of H 2 as fuel for buses in Liverpool – INOVYN Runcorn site Approach: Client Need: 1. Life cycle assessment to help understand the environmental and human health impacts ✓ INOVYN produces H 2 as a co-product associated with the use of hydrogen fuelled buses compared to standard diesel and electric of the chlor-alkali process buses. The base case is to provide 3.5 tons of H 2 per day, which could fuel up to 174 buses. ✓ Feasibility & initial engineering requirements to export this H 2 as fuel 2. The analysis accounted for vehicle (chassis and powertrain production), fuel (production and for fuel-cell vehicles distribution), and use phase impacts for the three scenarios. ✓ Demonstration of environmental 3. The life cycle assessment was developed on a ‘gate to gate’ basis according to the ISO standards gains. 14040:2006 & 14044:2006. 4. The results were categorised against four damage categories: Human health, Ecosystem quality, Climate change and Resources impacts. Benefits • H 2 v diesel - 72% Human Health (PM2.5) savings per bus – For 174 buses, daily savings are equivalent to annual emissions associated with the average life activities of 45 UK citizens. • H 2 v diesel - 55% Climate Change (CO 2 eq) savings per bus – For 174 buses, daily savings are equivalent to annual carbon footprint associated with the average life activities of 5 UK citizens. • A daily bus journey using an electric bus yielded less impacts. However, a single bus could not provide the daily service at once and would need to go back to the depot and recharge. This range constraint of electric buses implies the use of approximately 62 additional vehicles to provide the service of 174 diesel or H 2 buses. • Costain’s life cycle engineering approach allowed stakeholders to identify the main sources of impacts for the use of H 2 buses in Liverpool. This enables targeting of effective solutions which could further reduce environmental and human health impacts of H 2 buses to EV buses levels.
